In case you are new around here, this is one of the projects I’m working on now. Hexy MF is one of my long term works in progress. That’s my polite way of saying that the quilt-a-long was in 2012 and just this week I finished the first half of my blocks. I get distracted easily – don’t judge.

I based my fabric selections on this pink Outfoxed print. I’m excited to start cutting up the second half of my fabric selections because I’m tired of hand piecing the fabrics I’ve been using for a year. In this group there will be foxes and hedgehogs to entertain me!

I hate having to do all kinds of stuff to sign up for a giveaway so I’m not making you do anything but leave a comment. The giveaway closes on November 26.

I am making some snowmen mug rugs to give as gifts to my friends. I am also making shopping bags out of Christmas fabric and will use them for wrapping presents. Then, instead of throwing away paper, I’ll be reusing them for shopping! Thanks for the chance to win!

I pieced a very intricate block for my step mom’s table runner for Christmas. I did not
think I could piece like that! It’s not perfect, but at least I got it done in time! Thanks
for the chance to win!

Hi and thank you for a lovely givea way! Instead of hexies I hand pieced a little quilt with octagons and tiny squares. It took time but was very enjoyable project which I named ‘Summer Wine’. Now I’m sewing many kind of small things but mostly I enjoy making patchwork and small quilts! Sunny wishes from Greece!

My favorite thing that I made this year is an appliqued quilt for my new granddaughter. Now to get it quilted!

My favourite crafty thing I made this year was probably a quilt I made for my Grandma – it’s just a wonky star quilt, but I think it’s pretty great.

Well, I too am a distracted soul. I am currently working on a Swoon quilt, a Penny Patch quilt along and several bee blocks. And I have a new granddaughter that really needs some sewn things… Thank you for participating in the blog hop.

Speaking of hexies… I started a bangles quilt – it involves hexagons and stretched pentagons. It will be done in a few years – I *totally* know where you’re coming from with the whole “easily distracted” thing 🙂

I love quilting but honestly my favorite project this year was making sun-catchers – crystals hung with a string of glass beads. They go together fast and thus make great gifts. Thanks for the giveaway and for sharing your blog. I love the pictures of your critters!

I love hexies, too! In fact, I invite you to come on over to my blog and link with us for Hexie Friday – lots of eye candy there. Thanks for the chance for the certificate.

I CONGRATULATE ANYONE WHO DOES HEXES. I’VE NOT TRIED ANY YET. I’M LIKE YOU I GET DISTRACTED, TOO. TAKING CARE OF MY MOTHER 89 AND DAUGHTER 43 HANDICAPPED. BUT MY DAY WILL COME WHEN I WILL GIVE IT A TRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIVEAWAY AND TIME.

after a trip to Hawaii and a way too may planes later, I need to fix the strap but it is still my favorite project this year. Thanks for the chance to win!

I too am owned by an animal. My doxie has me totally figured out. Thank you so much for participating in this fun blog hop! Happy Thanksgiving! I’m working frantically to get a log cabin quilt finished to get to the long arm quilter the week after Thanksgiving. I’ve set goal for each day. Already behind:)

I love when I can switch fabrics too, I get so sick of a quilt I have been working on all year. I am glad to get rid of it, lol

I made a flannel baby quilt for my newest great nephew born on my birthday. I used a flannel jelly roll for the top & some purchased flannel for the back from Connecting Threads. It’s pretty heavy so it will make a great playmat. Thanks for the giveaway.

I just tried to post but my internet went down. SO I hope this doesn’t duplicate posts. I have a basket full of ongoing hexie’s I am working on. I am most proud of all fo the Breast Cancer Awareness Mug Rugs I have made this year and donated to all the staff at The Breast Care Center and the staff at a Breast Surgeons office. I am also proud of my scrappy trip along quilt.

I think my most favourite thing I made this year would’ve been the Super Tote that I sewed for my Secret Tote Bag Swap. it took me some time to get that bag together, especially with the feathers I made for both side panels. You can check it out on my blog, where you can also win something 😉

Thanks for the chance here! xx

I loved making a shaggy rag style quilt – it was a commission (my first proper one) so it was rather exciting!!

I’ve made a ton of small items like pouches, bags, and fabric baskets. These are my favorite because they are quick and satisfying but I LOVE my Retro rubies quilt!

The thing I made in 2013 that is my favorite thing I made this year is something I actually made for myself. It is a QAYG duffle bad for a plane carry on I made it using a combo of melody miller fabrics. Thanks for the chance to enter

I just finished a quilt top for my BIL that I just love it is a mixed media quilt, flannels and cottons. It is based on a Wolf panel and forest flannels. I named it Chaos in the Forest. I can’t wait to get it in the frame to quilt.

I have made a couple of blocks with hexies. I have a bunch made in a basket close to my recliner. When I do sit long enough and not doing any other handwork I make a few. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

I’ve never done a hexie quilt. It looks a little above my skill level at this time. LOL
I didn’t get a lot done in 2013 craft wise, instead we bought a few goats and now get to milk them twice a day.
Thanks for joining the hop.

I made a hexie snowflake quilt in turquoise and red. I still only have the top done and it isn’t looking like it will get quilted anytime soon. Sadly probably not going to be able to use it this season.

My favorite thing is making ornaments. I make them during the summer because Fall semester is too busy.
